Bonjardim Vinho Fino Fortified Wine

Trodden late-harvest Touriga Nacional grapes, estate-distilled Bonjardim brandy and nothing less than the eye of the master. The Bonjardim Vinho Fino is a full-bodied and powerful red vintage wine that resembles port wine. Deep, pure and sweet - if you want to enjoy this wine for a long time, hide it!

This Fortified Wine is made from late harvest grapes. We leave them drying for 3 weeks, they become raisins, we tread them and wait for the yeast cells to adapt to this very sweet juice.

After a few weeks we go to the granite tank and listen closely if it starts fermenting. If it starts to bubble, we know: ''Yes! Our wild yeast cells did it again!'' Then we stop the fermentation by fortifying it with our own wine brandy to maintain a residual sugar content. 

The late harvest grapes make this a wine with maximum body and power - it is made of three times more grapes than a normal red wine! Bonjardim Vinho Fino is, along with Reserva 2011, the best that the Bonjardim winery has to offer. This certified organic wine is vegan.
